What are the easiest LPS corals to take care of? I have an evo 13.5 with stock lighting so it needs to be something that will be ok with those lights :).
 
IMO that light is only good for softies
Good beginner lps would be hammer , frogspawn, candy cane, acans.
 
+1 for softies with that lighting.

I usually have the best luck with frogspawns as far as durability for LPS. Candy canes are pretty easy as well.

Acans I can't keep alive for the life of me.

When you say stock lighting are you talking 14k or one of the yellower lights?

The classic green with blue tips Frogspawn is easier in our tank that a lot of zoas.

Our lights are nothing to write home about.
 
I would not get candy canes of duncan’s as they will most likely die. Mine both died at the same time due to low nutrients even though I spot fed twice a week. Hammers and Frogspawn should be your best bet.
